TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to the optical communications field, and in particular, to an optical receiver having a high-frequency peak gain.

BACKGROUND

10G passive optical network (PON) technologies and products have been ready and enter a large-scale deployment stage. In a 10G PON, costs of an optical network unit (ONU) become a key problem in massive deployment in the future, and costs reduction is a key requirement of the 10G PON. A bi-directional optical sub-assembly on board (BOB) technology that is widely used in a gigabit passive optical network (GPON) can also be used in the 10G PON, to reduce packaging costs. Therefore, component costs reduction is key to further costs reduction.

In the ONU of the 10G PON, a 10G avalanche photodiode (APD) is a highest-rate optical component, and accounts for a largest proportion of costs. Therefore, reduction of costs of the APD is key to reduction of the costs of the ONU of the 10G PON.

SUMMARY

Embodiments of this application provide an optical receiver, to receive a high-rate signal by using a low-rate APD, thereby resolving a problem that costs of an overall component are excessively high due to excessively high costs of a high-rate APD.

after sending the second control signal to the transimpedance amplification circuit, the controller further performs a plurality of times of second detection processing, and performs the following process in each time of second detection processing: sending a control signal to the equalizer; using the first frequency as a boundary, and separately detecting energy of the differential voltage signal that is higher than the first frequency and energy of the differential voltage signal that is lower than the first frequency, to obtain an energy difference, where the first frequency is 0.28/Tb, and Tb is duration of each bit of the differential voltage signal; and modifying the control signal based on the preset modification amount; and after performing the plurality of times of second detection processing, the controller is specifically configured to use, as the fourth control signal, a control signal corresponding to a minimum energy difference in a plurality of energy differences obtained after the plurality of times of second detection processing.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a 10G PON system to which an ONU or an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) that has an optical receiver provided in the embodiments of this application is applicable. A 10G PON system 100 includes at least one OLT 110, a plurality of ONUs 120, and one optical distribution network (ODN) 130. The OLT 110 is connected to the plurality of ONUs 120 by using the ODN 130 in a point-to-multipoint manner. A direction from the OLT 110 to the ONU 120 is defined as a downlink direction, and a direction from the ONU 120 to the OLT 110 is defined as an uplink direction.

An embodiment of this application provides an optical receiver 200, and the optical receiver 200 may be applied to an ONU of a 10G PON system or a higher-rate PON system. As shown in FIG. 2, the optical receiver 200 includes an optoelectronic detector 201, a transimpedance amplification circuit 202, a single-ended-to-differential converter 203, an I/O interface 204, and a controller 205.

The optoelectronic detector 201 is configured to convert a received optical signal into a current signal, where bandwidth of the optoelectronic detector 201 is lower than a system transmission bandwidth requirement.

Specifically, the optoelectronic detector 201 accounts for a largest proportion of costs in the optical receiver 200, and therefore component costs can be greatly reduced by using the low-bandwidth optoelectronic detector 201. Correspondingly, there is a problem that a high-frequency signal cannot be detected.

The transimpedance amplification circuit 202 is configured to: receive the current signal and a first control signal, and perform transimpedance gain on the current signal based on the first control signal, to obtain a voltage signal, where a frequency response value of the current signal within first bandwidth is greater than that within the bandwidth of the optoelectronic detector 201, and any frequency in the first bandwidth is not lower than an upper cut-off frequency of the optoelectronic detector 201.

Optionally, the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 may be an underdamped transimpedance amplification circuit. This application provides a possible implementation. A structure of the underdamped transimpedance amplification circuit is shown in FIG. 3, and includes a fixed resistor 301, a first transistor 302, a second transistor 303, a variable resistance circuit 304, and an output port 305.

The fixed resistor 301 includes two ports. One port is grounded, and the other port is connected to an emitter of the first transistor 302. A base of the first transistor 302 is configured to receive an input signal, and a collector of the first transistor 302 is connected to an emitter of the second transistor 303. A base of the second transistor 303 is configured to receive a bias voltage signal, and a collector of the second transistor 303 is connected to a first port of the variable resistance circuit 304. The bias voltage signal is used to adjust a gain for the input signal. The output port 305 is located on a connecting line between the collector of the second transistor 303 and the first port of the variable resistance circuit 304. The variable resistance circuit 304 includes three ports. A second port of the variable resistance circuit 304 is configured to receive a control signal, a third port of the variable resistance circuit 304 is grounded, and the control signal is used to control a resistance value of the variable resistance circuit 304.

It should be understood that 3041 in FIG. 3 shows a specific implementation solution of the variable resistance circuit, and there are still many similar implementation solutions. This is not limited in this application.

In this embodiment of this application, the resistance value of the variable resistance circuit 304 is adjusted, to change a damping factor of the transimpedance amplification circuit 202. A smaller damping factor brings a greater additional gain for a high frequency. A frequency response curve of the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 is shown in FIG. 4, and in FIG. 4 is a damping factor. The high frequency herein is a frequency higher than the upper cut-off frequency of the optoelectronic detector 201.

It should be noted that the first bandwidth of the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 may be controlled by using an existing technical solution. This is not limited in this application. In addition, the damping factor cannot be excessively small because a smaller damping factor causes severer system oscillation. Due to a value limitation of the damping factor, there is a value range of an additional gain for the high frequency by the transimpedance amplification circuit 202. As shown in FIG. 5, a solid line represents a frequency response curve of the optoelectronic detector 201, and a dashed line is a combined frequency response curve of the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 and the optoelectronic detector 201. For example, at a location a, a to-be-compensated difference does not exceed the range of the additional gain for the high frequency by the transimpedance amplification circuit 202, and therefore compensation may be performed by using the transimpedance amplification circuit 202; and at a location b, a to-be-compensated difference exceeds the range of the additional gain for the high frequency by the transimpedance amplification circuit 202, and therefore complete compensation cannot be implemented solely by using the transimpedance amplification circuit 202. In this case, next-order compensation is needed.

The single-ended-to-differential converter 203 is configured to: convert the voltage signal into a differential voltage signal, and send the differential voltage signal to the I/O interface 204 and the controller 205.

The I/O interface 204 is configured to output the differential voltage signal.

The controller 205 is configured to: generate a second control signal based on the differential voltage signal, and send the second control signal to the transimpedance amplification circuit 202, where the second control signal is used to control the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 to perform transimpedance gain on the current signal.

Specifically, a signal processing process of the optical receiver 200 is as follows:

An optical signal detected by the optical receiver 200 first passes through the optoelectronic detector 201 for optoelectronic detection, to generate a current signal, and the current signal is converted into a voltage signal after passing through the transimpedance amplification circuit 202. The transimpedance amplification circuit can provide a first-order high frequency gain, and the gain is implemented inside the transimpedance amplification circuit 202. As shown in FIG. 3, the resistance value of the variable resistance circuit 304 is adjusted, to generate a peak gain at a gain frequency to compensate for insufficiency of the bandwidth of the optoelectronic detector 201 (that is, provide a higher gain at a high frequency in a passband range of the transimpedance amplification circuit 202). Because the gain is implemented inside the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 without introducing additional noise, noise-free gain compensation can be implemented for the high frequency. The high frequency herein is also a frequency that is higher than the upper cut-off frequency of the optoelectronic detector 201.

The signal for which gain compensation is performed by the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 is converted into a differential signal by the single-ended-to-differential converter 203, and the differential signal is output by using the I/O interface 204.

Further, the controller 205 is configured to: adaptively generate the second control signal, and control the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 to perform transimpedance gain on the received current signal, to enable the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 to perform current-stage optimal compensation for the optoelectronic detector 201. Three compensation possibilities: under-compensation, optimal compensation, and over-compensation are shown in FIG. 6.

Optionally, the second control signal that enables the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 to perform the current-stage optimal compensation is mainly generated in the following two manners:

(1) The controller 205 performs a plurality of times of sampling processing, and performs the following process in each time of sampling processing:

First, the controller 205 sends a control signal to the transimpedance amplification circuit 202.

In this case, the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 generates, for the current signal, a transimpedance gain determined by the control signal, to obtain a voltage signal; and the voltage signal passes through the single-ended-to-differential converter 203, to obtain a differential voltage signal.

Then, the controller 205 samples an upper level and a lower level of the received differential voltage signal, to obtain a value of a sampling point.

Finally, the controller 205 modifies the control signal based on a preset modification amount.

In other words, each time of sampling processing is performed for a signal that is obtained after different transimpedance gain, to obtain a different sampling point. A sampling point with a maximum value is selected from obtained sampling points, and a control signal corresponding to the sampling point can enable the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 to perform the current-stage optimal compensation.

Therefore, after performing the plurality of times of sampling processing, the controller 205 is specifically configured to use, as the second control signal, the control signal corresponding to the sampling point with the maximum value in the plurality of sampling points obtained after the plurality of times of sampling processing.

(2) The controller 205 performs a plurality of times of detection processing, and performs the following process in each time of detection processing:

First, the controller 205 sends a control signal to the transimpedance amplification circuit 202.

In this case, the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 generates, for the current signal, a transimpedance gain determined by the control signal, to obtain a voltage signal; and the voltage signal passes through the single-ended-to-differential converter 203, to obtain a differential voltage signal.

Then, the controller 205 uses a first frequency as a boundary, and separately detects energy of the differential voltage signal that is higher than the first frequency and energy of the differential voltage signal that is lower than the first frequency, to obtain an energy difference, where the first frequency is 0.28/Tb, and Tb is duration of each bit of the received differential voltage signal.

Finally, the controller 205 modifies the control signal based on a preset modification amount.

In other words, each time of detection processing is performed for a signal that is obtained after different transimpedance gain, to obtain a different energy difference. A minimum energy difference is selected from obtained energy differences, and a control signal corresponding to the energy difference can enable the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 to perform the current-stage optimal compensation.

Therefore, after performing the plurality of times of detection processing, the controller 205 is specifically configured to use, as the second control signal, the control signal corresponding to the minimum energy difference in the plurality of energy differences obtained after the plurality of times of detection processing.

It should be understood that the second control signal may be selected at intervals. Because an execution time of the foregoing selection process is very short compared with an interval time, service transmission is not affected. In addition, a compensation effect of the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 varies with an environmental change, and the environmental change (such as a temperature change) is a gradual process. Therefore, a control signal used during current execution may be modified for several times only in a relatively small range, and an optimal control signal is selected by using one of the foregoing methods (1) and (2). In this way, the execution time of the selection process can be effectively reduced.

Optionally, the optical receiver 200 further includes an equalizer 206. As shown in FIG. 7, the equalizer 206 is configured to: receive the differential voltage signal and a third control signal, perform gain on the differential voltage signal based on the third control signal, and send a differential voltage signal obtained after the gain to the controller and the I/O interface, where a frequency response value of the differential voltage signal within second bandwidth is greater than that within the first bandwidth, and any frequency in the second bandwidth is higher than any frequency in the first bandwidth.

In this case, the controller 205 is further configured to: generate a fourth control signal based on the differential voltage signal, and send the fourth control signal to the equalizer 206, where the fourth control signal is used to control the equalizer 206 to perform gain on the differential voltage signal.

Specifically, in this embodiment of this application, the differential voltage signal output by the single-ended-to-differential converter 203 first passes through the equalizer 206. If gain compensation needs to be further optimized, the equalizer 206 performs further gain on the differential voltage signal; and if gain compensation is optimal, the equalizer 206 does not perform processing on the signal, and is equivalent to a transmission circuit.

Further, the controller 205 is configured to: adaptively generate the fourth control signal, and control the equalizer 206 to perform gain on the received differential voltage signal, to enable the equalizer 206 to perform optimal compensation for the optoelectronic detector 201. The equalizer 206 may be an analog equalizer or a digital equalizer.

Optionally, the second control signal that enables the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 to perform the optimal compensation and the fourth control signal that enables the equalizer 206 to perform the optimal compensation are mainly generated in the following two manners:

(1) The controller 205 performs a plurality of times of first sampling processing, and performs the following process in each time of first sampling processing:

sending, by the controller 205, a control signal to the transimpedance amplification circuit 202;

sampling, by the controller 205, an upper level and a lower level of the received differential voltage signal, to obtain a value of a sampling point; and

modifying, by the controller 205, the control signal based on a preset modification amount.

After performing the plurality of times of first sampling processing, the controller 205 uses, as the second control signal, a control signal corresponding to a sampling point with a maximum value in a plurality of sampling points obtained after the plurality of times of first sampling processing.

After sending the second control signal to the transimpedance amplification circuit 202, the controller 205 further performs a plurality of times of second sampling processing, and performs the following process in each time of second sampling processing:

sending, by the controller 205, a control signal to the equalizer 206;

sampling, by the controller 205, an upper level and a lower level of the received differential voltage signal, to obtain a value of a sampling point; and

modifying, by the controller 205, the control signal based on the preset modification amount.

After performing the plurality of times of second sampling processing, the controller 205 uses, as the fourth control signal, a control signal corresponding to a sampling point with a maximum value in a plurality of sampling points obtained after the plurality of times of second sampling processing.

(2) The controller 205 performs a plurality of times of first detection processing, and performs the following process in each time of first detection processing:

sending, by the controller 205, a control signal to the transimpedance amplification circuit 202;

using, by the controller 205, a first frequency as a boundary, and separately detecting energy of the differential voltage signal that is higher than the first frequency and energy of the differential voltage signal that is lower than the first frequency, to obtain an energy difference, where the first frequency is 0.28/Tb, and Tb is duration of each bit of the differential voltage signal; and

modifying, by the controller 205, the control signal based on a preset modification amount.

After performing the plurality of times of first detection processing, the controller 205 uses, as the second control signal, a control signal corresponding to a minimum energy difference in a plurality of energy differences obtained after the plurality of times of first detection processing.

After sending the second control signal to the transimpedance amplification circuit 202, the controller 205 further performs a plurality of times of second detection processing, and performs the following process in each time of second detection processing:

sending, by the controller 205, a control signal to the equalizer;

using, by the controller 205, the first frequency as a boundary, and separately detecting energy of the differential voltage signal that is higher than the first frequency and energy of the differential voltage signal that is lower than the first frequency, to obtain an energy difference, where the first frequency is 0.28/Tb, and Tb is duration of each bit of the differential voltage signal; and

modifying, by the controller 205, the control signal based on the preset modification amount.

After performing the plurality of times of second detection processing, the controller 205 uses, as the fourth control signal, a control signal corresponding to a minimum energy difference in a plurality of energy differences obtained after the plurality of times of second detection processing.

It should be noted that if the obtained value of the sampling point is maximum or the obtained energy difference is minimum when the equalizer 206 does not perform gain on the differential voltage signal, it indicates that the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 has already performed optimal compensation for the optoelectronic detector 201, and the equalizer 206 does not need to function; otherwise, it indicates that the equalizer 206 needs to function.

In addition, gain compensation by the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 is implemented inside the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 without introducing additional noise, but the equalizer 206 introduces additional noise during compensation. Therefore, the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 is adjusted preferentially. However, the equalizer 206 has an advantage of a wide compensation range, and can perform compensation for a higher frequency compared with the transimpedance amplification circuit 202. If the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 cannot implement optimal compensation, the equalizer 206 may perform further compensation, to achieve an optimal compensation effect.

Further, the second control signal and the fourth control signal may be selected at intervals. Because an execution time of the foregoing selection process is very short compared with an interval time, service transmission is not affected. In addition, compensation effects of the transimpedance amplification circuit 202 and the equalizer 206 vary with an environmental change, and the environmental change (such as a temperature change) is a gradual process. Therefore, only a control signal used during current execution may be modified for several times in a relatively small range, and an optimal control signal is selected by using one of the foregoing methods (1) and (2). In this way, the execution time of the selection process can be effectively reduced.

803. The optical receiver converts the voltage signal into a differential voltage signal, and generates a second control signal based on the differential voltage signal, where the second control signal is used to control the optical receiver to perform transimpedance gain on the current signal.

Optionally, solutions in which the optical receiver generates the second control signal based on the differential voltage signal are as follows:

(1) Perform a plurality of times of sampling processing, and use, as the second control signal, a control signal corresponding to a sampling point with a maximum value in a plurality of sampling points obtained after the plurality of times of sampling processing, where the following process is performed in each time of sampling processing:

In short, in both the foregoing two solutions, the control signal is modified, so that the received signal is in different statuses, and a relatively optimal control signal is selected by comparing these statuses.

Optionally, after the converting, by the optical receiver, the voltage signal into a differential voltage signal, the method further includes: performing gain on the differential voltage signal based on a third control signal, where a frequency response value of the differential voltage signal within second bandwidth is greater than that within the first bandwidth, and any frequency in the second bandwidth is higher than any frequency in the first bandwidth. After the generating a second control signal, the method further includes: generating a fourth control signal based on a differential voltage signal obtained after the gain, where the fourth control signal is used to control the optical receiver to perform gain on the differential voltage signal.

In this case, solutions in which the optical receiver generates the second control signal and the fourth control signal based on the differential voltage signal are as follows:

This embodiment of this application is a method embodiment corresponding to the foregoing apparatus embodiment, implementation principles and achieved effects have been described in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not described in this embodiment of this application again.

Another embodiment of this application provides an optical receiver 900, and the optical receiver 900 may be applied to an ONU of a 10G PON system or a higher-rate PON system. As shown in FIG. 9, the optical receiver 900 includes an optoelectronic detector 901, a first transimpedance amplification circuit 902, a single-ended-to-differential converter 903, an equalizer 904, an I/O interface 905, and a controller 906.

The optoelectronic detector 901 is configured to convert a received optical signal into a current signal, where bandwidth of the optoelectronic detector 901 is lower than a system transmission bandwidth requirement.

Specifically, the optoelectronic detector 901 accounts for a largest proportion of costs in the optical receiver 900, and therefore component costs can be greatly reduced by using the low-bandwidth optoelectronic detector 901. Correspondingly, there is a problem that a high-frequency signal cannot be detected.

The first transimpedance amplification circuit 902 is configured to: receive the current signal, and perform transimpedance gain on the current signal, to obtain a voltage signal.

The single-ended-to-differential converter 903 is configured to: convert the voltage signal into a differential voltage signal, and send the differential voltage signal to the equalizer 904.

The equalizer 904 is configured to: receive the differential voltage signal and a first control signal, perform gain on the differential voltage signal based on the first control signal, and send a differential voltage signal obtained after the gain to the I/O interface 905 and the controller 906, where a frequency response value of the differential voltage signal within first bandwidth is greater than that within the bandwidth of the optoelectronic detector 901, and any frequency in the first bandwidth is higher than an upper cut-off frequency of the optoelectronic detector 901.

The equalizer 904 herein may be an analog equalizer or a digital equalizer.

The I/O interface 905 is configured to output the differential voltage signal obtained after the gain.

The controller 906 is configured to: generate a second control signal based on the differential voltage signal obtained after the gain, and send the second control signal to the equalizer 904, where the second control signal is used to control the equalizer 904 to perform gain on the differential voltage signal.

In this embodiment of this application, the equalizer 904 is used to implement gain compensation for a high frequency. According to a feature of a wide compensation range of the equalizer 904, the equalizer 904 is enabled to perform compensation for the optoelectronic detector 901, to achieve an optimal effect. Compared with the previous embodiment without the equalizer, this embodiment has an advantage of a wider range of compensation for the optoelectronic detector 901, and has a disadvantage that more noise is introduced because gain compensation for the high frequency is completely implemented by the equalizer.

Optionally, the second control signal that enables the equalizer 904 to perform current-stage optimal compensation for the optoelectronic detector 901 is mainly generated in the following two manners:

(1) The controller 906 performs a plurality of times of sampling processing, and performs the following process in each time of sampling processing:

First, the controller 906 sends a control signal to the equalizer 904.

In this case, the equalizer 904 generates, for the differential voltage signal, a gain determined by the control signal, to obtain the differential voltage signal obtained after the gain.

Then, the controller 906 samples an upper level and a lower level of the differential voltage signal obtained after the gain, to obtain a value of a sampling point.

Finally, the controller 906 modifies the control signal based on a preset modification amount.

In other words, each time of sampling processing is performed for a signal that is obtained after different gain, to obtain a different sampling point. A sampling point with a maximum value is selected from obtained sampling points, and a control signal corresponding to the sampling point can enable the equalizer 904 to perform optimal compensation.

Therefore, after performing the plurality of times of sampling processing, the controller 906 is specifically configured to use, as the second control signal, the control signal corresponding to the sampling point with the maximum value in the plurality of sampling points obtained after the plurality of times of sampling processing.

(2) The controller 906 performs a plurality of times of detection processing, and performs the following process in each time of detection processing:

First, the controller 906 sends a control signal to the equalizer 904.

In this case, the equalizer 904 generates, for the differential voltage signal, a gain determined by the control signal, to obtain the differential voltage signal obtained after the gain.

Then, the controller 906 uses a first frequency as a boundary, and separately detects energy of the differential voltage signal that is higher than the first frequency and energy of the differential voltage signal that is lower than the first frequency, to obtain an energy difference, where the first frequency is 0.28/Tb, and Tb is duration of each bit of the differential voltage signal.

Finally, the controller 906 modifies the control signal based on a preset modification amount.

In other words, each time of detection processing is performed for a signal that is obtained after different gain, to obtain a different energy difference. A minimum energy difference is selected from obtained energy differences, and a control signal corresponding to the energy difference can enable the equalizer 904 to perform optimal compensation.

Therefore, after performing the plurality of times of detection processing, the controller 906 is specifically configured to use, as the second control signal, the control signal corresponding to the minimum energy difference in the plurality of energy differences obtained after the plurality of times of detection processing.

Another embodiment of this application provides a receiving method. As shown in FIG. 10, the method includes the following steps:

1001. An optical receiver converts a received optical signal into a current signal by using an optoelectronic detector, where bandwidth of the optoelectronic detector is lower than a system transmission bandwidth requirement.

1002. The optical receiver performs transimpedance gain on the current signal, to obtain a voltage signal, and converts the voltage signal into a differential voltage signal.

1003. The optical receiver performs gain on the differential voltage signal based on a first control signal, to obtain a differential voltage signal obtained after the gain, where a frequency response value of the differential voltage signal within first bandwidth is greater than that within the bandwidth of the optoelectronic detector, and any frequency in the first bandwidth is higher than an upper cut-off frequency of the optoelectronic detector.

1004. The optical receiver generates a second control signal based on the differential voltage signal obtained after the gain, where the second control signal is used to control the optical receiver to perform gain on the differential voltage signal.

Optionally, generating a control signal with a relatively best compensation effect based on the differential voltage signal obtained after the gain is mainly performed in the following two methods:

Further, in addition to the adaptive feedback control manners, equalization adjustment may further be controlled and implemented in a programmable analog or digital manner. An optical receiver in this solution may include components similar to those included in any optical receiver shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 7, or FIG. 9. Functions of an optoelectronic detector, a transimpedance amplification circuit, a single-ended-to-differential converter, an equalizer, and an I/O interface are all the same as those in the foregoing embodiments, and an only difference lies in that a controller does not need to receive a differential voltage signal, and therefore does not perform sampling processing or detection processing on the differential voltage signal. A correspondence between an external environmental change and a control signal, such as a relationship between a temperature and a control signal, is estimated based on related information such as a simulation result in a product design stage, and a corresponding control signal is directly selected based on an external temperature value. For reference, FIG. 11 is a schematic structural diagram of an optical receiver including components the same as those included in the optical receiver shown in FIG. 2.

It should be understood that the relationship between an external environmental change and a control signal may be pre-stored inside the controller; or may be stored in another driving component, where the driving component controls the controller to work; or may be printed, where operating personnel control, based on the correspondence, the controller to work.
